These kind of automated twitter-bots really don't fit in with my usage of Twitter. They add way too much noise to the stream. I really don't care that gulp 0.1.1 just got released.

Can someone explain to my why you'd want this much info pushed into your stream?

You think that's bad then you should see the CPAN upload twitter-bot :) http://twitter.com/cpan_linked

But yes I agree with you, this isn't the best way to manually consume this info. I tried it for a little while but just switched back to the relevant RSS feed, which is far easier to skim through quickly without missing too much.
